I'm confused by all these numbers (break-in schedule, wear time, CR, CVA, CVAI), what do they mean?

Regarding the break-in schedule, it is not necessary to stick to the guide exactly; the point is to increase wear time gradually over the first 4-5 days after the Boston Band is fit.

The outcome numbers, such as the Cephalic Ratio (CR) and Cranial Vault Asymmetry Index (CVAI), should be explained in detail during the initial evaluation by the orthotist. We want to make sure you understand your child's treatment completely, so if there is any confusion, contact your orthotist for clarification.
